The A’s

Over the weekend, we stayed at the A’s beautiful home.

Mr. A works with my dad, and he and his family graciously let us stay in their gorgeous home—he built it himself!

The main level is not quite finished—so it’s empty and perfect for Nerf gun wars, which there were plenty of! The A’s have 5 boys!

On Friday, when we arrived, we went tubing on the Delaware River! It was a little scary for me at first, but I we all had so much fun!

Saturday, we went to a local farm where they have bees and make their own honey. There was a big gathering, because it was time to get the honey from the bees. They only do it once a year!

DSCN0190 I kept my distance!

Ironically, because it was so hot, the bees hadn’t made any honey this year! :P

Next, we went to an observation tower, where we could get a great view, including where Washington crossed the Delaware.

Unfortunately, there was a $5.00 admission fee per person! So instead of paying to take the elevator, we climbed up. :)

After that, we went to go to the actual spot on the river where Washington crossed. But the bridge was closed.

So this was our exciting day:

We went to see honey, but the bees didn’t make any.

We went to see a great view, but it was too expensive.

We went to see the actual historic site, but the bridge was closed.

Fun fun.

We actually did have a really fun time with the A’s! And something happened later that day that we had all been looking forward to.

See, the A’s have this bull.

And they wanted to turn it into a steer.

And that was the day to do it.

But that’s for the next post. For now, I leave you with pictures of their cat who has a lot of toes.
